Aircraft History
This is a replica Zero 1:1 scale. No original parts. It uses part patterns from materials recovered by Robert Diemert in the late 1960s, but all the parts are new. Blayd Corporation (Manitoba, Canada) bough the project from the Calverleys (they still own a share in it as well).

Painted in the markings of A6M2 Zero 6544 Tail AI-I-129, as suggested by researcher Ryan Toews.

Restored by Blayd Corporation and Tri-State Aviation. Owned by Jerry Beck. Displayed at the Fargo Air Museum.
